This morning while sitting in my chair, tears are rolling down my face. Saying goodbye to a friend, or a loved one is never easy, and it makes it even harder when they've given you nothing but unconditional love since the day you met.

Life and Loss on the Farm
We've had an unusually warm winter, minus the 3 inches of snow that we got at the end of November. And because of the warmth, new life is popping up around me everywhere I look. The ornamental fruit trees are in full bloom, the lilac bush in our backyard is budding out, as well as some of the trees around the property. But as anyone with a farm knows, with life...comes loss.

The Dreaded "D" Word...
This post has been a long time coming...and it's one that I've honestly been a bit nervous about. There isn't a person, relationship or marriage that ever wants this word to come up...let alone live through. But in reality, this is something that most of us have either lived or known someone who has lived it. Are you ready to tackle this? Take a deep breath because I'm about to put the REAL in The REAL Housewife of Snohomish County. **breathe**

Grieving losses...Camp Erin 2013.
I can hardly believe that King County Camp Erin 2013 has come and gone. It seriously seems like I just finished my first camp, and now the second one is over. This weekend was full of laughter as well as tears, grieving as well as celebrating, early mornings and late nights. But just like last year, it was all worth it.

Throwin' it back...Episode 1
Lately I've seen a number of Instagram photos and posts from people labeled "Throw Back Thursday." As you know the last week or so I've been absent from the blog, I've had a ton of things going on and not really sure what to write about. So today I decided that I'm going to start my own Thursday thing...and I'll call it "Throwin' it back..." Today is Episode 1.

How will you face it?
Death...at some point in our lives...we will all have to face it. Be it a pet, an acquaintance, a loved one or someone more immediate...we will all face it. With that in mind...have you thought about how you will face it? It seems like now, more than ever, I'm forcing myself to think about these scenarios.

On Death, Dying and Living.
Over the last few years death, dying and living has hit home way too close when it comes to my family and friends. After a night of dreams filled with those I love who have passed, I woke to an article about an 18 year old boy in Minnesota who's life ended on May 20th after his courageous battle with osteosarcoma.

Time fades them...but never erases...
Today is the 2nd Wednesday of the month. While some of you may be like, "Yea. And?" Well, for me it means that it is the day I head to The Healing Center for group with Healing Club 1, 2, 3. This is the grief group for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders that I have the privilege of being the "Group Host" for.

Coming back a blessed and humbled person...
This past weekend I had the experience of a lifetime. I went into the weekend feeling like I wasn't emotionally able to be there, but decided to leave my personal problems and life at the gate. And by doing that, I was able to experience and be a part of the most amazing and awe inspiring weekend of my life.
